Anthony Archibald - Guitar - Guitar: Ticket To Ride (Including lyrics and chords)
Another song from The Beatles, "Ticket To Ride" was written by John Lennon, but like many of their songs it was credited to Lennon/McCartney.
Wikipedia includes the following in an article about the song: Issued as a single in April 1965, it became the Beatles' seventh consecutive number 1 hit in the United Kingdom and their third consecutive number 1 hit in the United States, and similarly topped national charts in Canada, Australia and Ireland. The song was included on their 1965 album Help! Recorded at EMI Studios in London in February that year, the track marked a progression in the Beatles' work through the incorporation of drone and harder-sounding instrumentation relative to their previous releases.

Messed about with a harmonica from the age of 13. Took up guitar at college aged 21 and became interested in folk singing. Next got a 5-string banjo as a birthday present age 25 and about the same time bought my first autoharp. More recently I have been trying to play mandolin and also ocarina.
You would think that after all that time I would be a virtuoso on at least one of them, but I am merely fairly competent at using them mainly to accompany my singing, my voice being in my humble opinion my best instrument!

For over three years now I have been uploading songs on YouTube and include lyrics and chords as annotations on-screen to help others learn to play along with me. These annotations are best seen on full-screen, which you can do by clicking on the YouTube icon to the bottom right of the video.

I have just produced an eBook containing 50 songs (first volume hopefully provided it sells) which can be seen and purchased by following this link:

Dubliners; Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem; Ian Campbell Folk Group; Liverpool Spinners; Tom Paxton and other folk musicians. Took to folk music after visiting Dublin when as a teenager I was a Manx Dancer.

Are you in a band? Have you been in bands?

I have recently joined with 6 others to form a band called The Cronk Illiam Scratchers.
In Manx, Cronk means hill; Illiam is William. A shortened form of William is Billy, so we are the Hill Billy Scratchers and play and sing music normally associated with the Appalachian Mountains.

If you could jam with anyone, who would it be?

Any of the folk groups that so influenced me in my formative years, e.g, The Dubliners; The Spinners; The Clancy Brothers; The Corries and individuals like Tom Paxton, Gordon Lightfoot, Eric Bogle etc

What's the biggest audience you ever performed to? What's the smallest?

Back in 1981, I paired up with a friend singing folk songs. We were invited to entertain a group of people in a local pub after they had been at a concert at the Erin Arts Centre given by an up-and-coming young violinist.
During our performance, the audience were not really listening to us, being more interested in ingratiating themselves with the 16 year old violinist. He, however, was getting fed up and asked us if he could join us.
Neither Liam my friend, nor myself being professional players, so we were a bit dubious to begin with, but the lad said he could vamp along with us, so we agreed. Wow! What a difference he made to our performance. His playing was magical enhancing our performance tremendously.
Not really surprising, as the lad's name was (and still is) Nigel Kennedy!
I suppose that the biggest audience I have performed in front of would have been about 200 or so at the Peel Centenary Centre in the Isle of Man with the Cronk Illiam Scratchers, and the smallest an audience of three at Reayrt Y Chrink, the sheltered accommodation at which I live and give a monthly sing-around session on the last Friday of each month with help from quite a few of my musical friends. The audience usually 12 to 20 in number was only 3 for Boxing Day 2014.

You're stuck on a desert island and only get to bring one album with you. What do you pick?

Tom Paxton's Rambling Boy.
This was the first vinyl LP I ever bought and introduced me to Tom's fabulous repertoire.
